Park 29 · Oslo · Behind the Royal Palace
Private Dining in Oslo
Six private dining rooms inside an 1847 townhouse in the heart of Oslo — Oslo's largest collection of chambre séparée, a two-minute walk from the Royal Palace.
A house, not a function room
A house with six rooms — none of them a function room
Park 29 occupies Oslo's oldest wooden villa, built in 1847 in Homansbyen — once home to the composer Halfdan Kjerulf. When the house became a restaurant, its rooms kept their original names: the office, the library, the bedroom, the bath. Today those same six rooms make up Oslo's largest collection of private dining rooms, each one entirely your own for the evening, seating anywhere from 6 to 48 guests.
The six rooms
Private dining for 6 to 48 guests
Every chambre séparée comes with its own door, its own server, and full access to the kitchen and wine cellar. You don't pay for the room — only for what you eat and drink.
The Bath
Norwegian name: Badet
The smallest and most private room in the house, on the second floor. Built for a dinner for two, an important one-to-one, or a celebration too small for anywhere else.
The Office
Norwegian name: Kontoret
Close and focused, the way a good boardroom should feel — the room of choice when the conversation matters more than the view.
The Breakfast Room
Norwegian name: Frokostrommet
Bright, relaxed and a little less formal than the rest of the house — a favourite for birthday dinners and family gatherings.
The Bedroom
Norwegian name: Soverommet
Generous without feeling cavernous — easy for a long table of friends, a relaxed business dinner, or a milestone birthday.
The Library
Norwegian name: Biblioteket
Lined with bookshelves and built for a toast — Park 29's most-booked room for formal dinners and intimate wedding dinners.
The Main Hall
Norwegian name: Hovedsalen
The largest room in the house, seating up to 48 at long tables — for wedding dinners, anniversaries and company parties that still want a room of their own.
Need something larger? Park 29's main dining room and garden can also be booked privately for up to 200 guests — get in touch with your guest count and we'll suggest the right setup.
What brings people here
Three reasons guests book a private room
Business dinner
Close a deal, welcome a client, or get the whole department around one table — away from the open dining room. Every one of the six rooms works for business, from a boardroom-sized dinner in The Office to a long table for forty in The Main Hall.
Birthday dinner
Bring a cake, give a speech, and let the room do the rest. The Breakfast Room and The Bedroom are particular favourites for birthday dinners of 10 to 20 guests, with a private space that still feels like a proper night out.
Intimate wedding dinner
Say yes in the garden, then move the celebration inside the same 1847 walls. For a wedding dinner of 20 to 48 guests, The Library and The Main Hall give you a room of your own — without booking out an entire venue.
How it works
No room rental — just a minimum spend
There's no fee for the room itself. Instead, each chambre séparée carries a minimum spend on food and wine, typically built around a three-course menu with a matching wine pairing. In return, you get the room for the evening, a dedicated server, and full use of the kitchen and wine cellar.
- Private room with its own door
- A dedicated server for your table
- Three-course menu, à la carte or set
- Wine pairing from our cellar, on request
- No separate room hire fee
The house
An 1847 townhouse, two minutes from the Royal Palace
Park 29 is set in Oslo's oldest wooden villa, in the leafy Homansbyen district just west of the Royal Palace gardens. Composer Halfdan Kjerulf lived in this house in the 1850s; today its rooms serve a seasonal menu built on French and Italian cooking with Norwegian produce. For visitors staying in central Oslo, it's an easy walk from Karl Johans gate, the National Theatre and most of the city's hotels — a quieter, more private alternative to dining in the open room.
A royal connection
The 1847 villa that houses Park 29 was designed by Hans Ditlev Franciscus von Linstow — the same architect responsible for the Royal Palace at the top of Karl Johans gate. Built for bank cashier Henrik Christian Borchgrevink, the house remains one of Oslo's finest examples of Swiss-style timber architecture from the period.
